[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any criticism of outdoor space should be off set by the phenomenal teacher:student ration. 2:15!!![/quote]

And to PP who asked about "their staffing model": In doing your homework, you have to look at the staffing model of an entire school. Our kids' elementary school for example, has definitely more kids in a classroom with a teacher and an aid (more like 22 for K and up). But those kids spend almost half their time with other teachers and staff, including the music teacher, the PE teacher, the art teacher, the instructional coach, the librarian, the science teacher, the counselor, and some intervention/gifted pull-outs etc. A 15:2 ratio can be a great thing but it can also make a teacher's life virtually impossible for planning, preparation, and grading purposes if "the staffing model" foresees that these 15 kids are in one and the same classroom at all times. A good indicator to get at that might be to add up all the teachers and other teaching personnel and divide that by the number of students in the building.[/quote]
